Ramona & the Holy Smokes is a honky tonk band from Charlottesville, Virginia, whose original country music recalls classic country from the 1950s and ’60s.

The Holy Smokes are fronted by Ramona Martinez, a prolific singer-songwriter who pulls inspiration from her own life to write songs about heartbreak and hangovers.

The current line-up of the Holy Smokes includes: Kyle Lawton Kilduff (Electric guitar), Brooks Hefner (Pedal Steel), Jay Ouypron (Bass), and Porter Bralley (Drums.)

Ramona & the Holy Smokes have been performing around Charlottesville since late April of 2022 — including at Fridays After Five, Champion Brewing Company, The Southern, The Garage, Fry’s Spring Beach Club, and Dürty Nelly’s. They currently have their first single out and are touring more extensively in Virginia & surrounding states.
